Sin embargo, usted tiene que salir de su zona de confort, y cruzar las fronteras para superarte y ser el mejor. sólo por pisar fuera del ámbito de su zona de confort, usted será capaz de explorar nuevos océanos, y ofrecer lo mejor, algo mucho más superior y hermosa que nunca, para iluminar el mundo ..... como la brillantez increíble y hermosa brillo de una supernova o una estrella fugaz o incluso un meteorito, ya que salir de su zona de confort y entrar en nuevos territorios. Se esfuerzan por reinventar y renovar a ti mismo en cada etapa de la vida, al igual que Madonna ha hecho por años, y descubrirá sus nuevas fuerzas, poderes increíbles y belleza asounding que nunca estuvieron ahí antes. Se atreven a salir de su zona de confort, porque eso es exactamente donde comienza la vida real. Conseguir una vida, mi amigo.
